I hate to tell people reality Is most franchises are not done with plans years In advance.

It's easy to make plans when a studio does nothing but make comic films.

Thats not a good excuse though. X-Men should be given some sort of loose plan. Millar made it sound like they are leading to something big and seems like Fox are doing a better job looking into looking into the future. They don't need to have every little detail, but in a world as big as X-Men you should know where things are leading/building to. Thats a good thing and for the better.
